I am excited to have Beth join the team and work with us to provide our consumers with world-class financial advice.”

As a former employee of Beth's at WalletPop, I can say she's one of the smartest editors in the digital realm. She gets it, and if the folks at AOL had listened to her on many fronts, they'd be far better off than they are today. But it's Reuters gain, and they are lucky to have her.

As a former employee of Beth's at WalletPop, I can say conclusively that she is horrible. She destroyed WalletPop. Unfortunately, she didn't leave there soon enough for the site to be saved. Ask yourself why the publications Beth edits all go under...

Just for the record: Someone just asked me if the comment above (signed "Haha") was written by me; it wasn't. I wish everyone the best in all their future ventures and don't think that this would be the appropriate forum to air these kinds of issues.
